Does the peddle fall to the floor?

Does it have DOT 5 brake fluid??

Does the truck have air?????

Have you checked the brake fluid level????

Is the master cylinder there????????

What the heck is it doing??????

 

[bubba_got_you]

first i will say that searching will help you greatly but next we need to know what you have checked? It will tell us what might be wrong

There is not any information in your post. Details or photo's would be my first suggestion.

What is the level of the fluid in the master cylinder and are there any signs of leakage around the backing plates, inner sidewalls or wheels?

Reading through the TMs will help too...they are a wealth of knowledge.

Read the TM's. Find someone in your area to help. Bleed the brakes according to the TM.

How long has the truck been sitting or gone without use?

I just had a fellow SS member help me with mine, they are easy to do, but brakse are not to be played with and I thank Recovery4x4 for the assistance with mine.

With mine the petal went to the floor, had plenty of DOT 5, and no air leaks, no bubbles in the brake fluid. Turned out to be a bad master. I have never done brakes before, and I could easily do another master replacement.

The keys to this site are read the TM's, use the search option to find related posts, and ask questions and provide detialed information so people can provide a good diagonisis of the problem.

I did a search and figured it out. It was leaky wheel cylinders. Sorry for the lack of info.
